Grandma's Cafe - Branson

The host (Grand pa they called him. He made the atmosphere GREAT). The service was great also but the food was so so so good, and us locals know where to go and not go. The proportion size of their omelets were huge. Their country ham was fantastic. Whether you live here or just passing through stop by for a great meal!!!

The place is nice and I really enjoyed being there. The server get 4.5 stars....she was attentive and very nice.... The food gets 3 stars. Let's analyze our orders. The ribs order.....they are great, french fries crispy and hot, potato salad it was okay. The chicken breast order.......the corn on the cob was as expected; but I wish it had butter on it, the mac and cheese.....oh no, no, no!!!!! Not good at all.....boxed mac and cheese from the supermarket. It was very dry, clumpy and flavorless. The chicken breast.....the portion was good but it was a kind of dry, chewy and barely any flavor. I compensated by adding the BBQ sauce it was brought for the ribs. They need to improve this items or change them entirely. I wish to get them another opportunity when I visit Branson again; but they need to improve their cooking.

Can?t recommend this place enough! Our waitress Charlene was so friendly. The portions were perfect and the food was great. My wife had the biscuits and gravy and she said it was just like her mom used to make it. I had the hash and it was fantastic. We will absolutely be back!

My wife and I decided to give this cafe a shot. We went on Friday evening for, all you can eat catfish. The price is very reasonable and our waitress was very nice and tentative. She deserves a 5 star rating. However, the food was not good at all. It was quite comical when my ?all you can eat? catfish platter was brought out. It had 2 pieces of catfish, about the size of chicken nuggets and a side of baked beans and Cole slaw, each about 2 tablespoons. I?m not exaggerating! And fries. The fries were crispy and very good. The beans were also very good. The catfish was terrible. It had the blood line still in the fillet which gives off a very bad taste. I?ve had catfish like this before and it can be tolerated but this fish had a very odd taste. Maybe old cooking oil? I?m not sure. I went on and had another order of fish put in before I began to eat. I thought maybe I just had a poor piece on my original order. Nope, just as bad. I will not be returning. I was hopeful that this place would be a decent place to eat, and maybe their other food is. I do not recommend the catfish.

This place was quaint. Food was great. The only thing this place is missing and why we probably won't be back is that they could really use a little classic country music or some type of music to add a little ambiance to the place. I think the workers works have a more enjoyable day and it would just be a better dining experience. Music adds peace and some Zen to the experience.
